I had such a great time at the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival. It recently became North Carolina's official shrimp fest! I was surprised to see so many people in attendance... and then, of course, being in the parade was such a blast!

The best part that I missed??? The shrimp heading contest. I really wanted to stay and take part, but it was getting late. At least I got to watch the kiddos do it! Check them out! What a bunch of pros!
